New Guinness GMT

I like it. Jubilee works well.

It’s Guinness for me with those colours!

If it needs another name this looks like a leading contender. Not quite the ring of Pepsi but it may grow.

Why does the metal look so dark In many images ? Is this a titanium watch ?

Is there something I'm not aware of? Do people get a prize for nicknaming Rolexes? Why is there a constant desire to be involved in nicknaming new releases?

In fairness, Guinness is "premium" within the beer category and considered "gold standard" (need citation) amongst stout beers.

With that said, I'm not much of a beer drinker and I'll stand corrected if any cicerone wants to chime in.

I thought best before someone names it catwoman or something completely ridiculous.

Guinness

The colours scheme works just fine for this. There seems to be some magical proclamation that settles on one name vs another.

The two tone bezel looks like the head on the pint as well.

I think of all the nicknames - it's a pretty good one.

The good news is that if you drop it in your Guinness it will keep ticking away.

Not only do I Co-Sign with a John Hancock like signature, I also find this watch to be the absolute most handsome mixed metal watch Rolex has ever made.

This is, imo, a better looking watch than the Root-beer by a few notches.

It is a gorgeous color combination. And I like the nickname Guinness, but that is my favorite beer so I’m somewhat partial!

It's an acquired taste, divisive, not for everyone. But once you get (or acquire) the taste for it, nothing else comes close..

..which is a bit like this new GMT. I really like it and more than the root beer. I think the Jubilee really makes it pop.

Perhaps another alternative since I'm pretty sure our Muslim brothers would feel uncomfortable even mentioning the nickname especially during the fasting Ramadhan month.
Just my 2 cents....
